| "Dry-fitting" the motherboard |
I wanted the connections of the motherboard to be at the back of the NES case. This made sense logically and also by design. The side walls of the NES are slanted out, which would make lining up the motherboard connections to the case almost impossible. The back side of the NES also has some pre-existing holes for some of the connectors (power, channel switch, etc.) so this meant the only location for the motherboard would have to be the right hand side.

| Marking all the posts to be removed |
I lined the motherboard up to where I wanted to place it and quickly marked all the posts that would need to be removed. A fair bit of dremel work lay ahead. I was hoping I would have enough vertical space for the motherboard and its components to not have to cut the "T" out of the bottom. So far it looks like it'll fit fine.
